Treasury of Thomas Hardy by Thomas Hardy

Treasury of Thomas Hardy by Thomas Hardy

Part of the new OWC series, Authors in Context, Thomas Hardy is a critical companion to the OWC Hardy editions. It examines Hardy's novels and puts them in their author's social, cultural, and political contexts.
Thomas Hardy was born before the invention of the car, the telephone, and the airplane, when no woman could vote, when there were different rules for men and women wanting to divorce, and education was the preserve of the upper classes. He lived to see the Zeppelins over London, new divorce laws, wider educational opportunities, votes for women, and the questioning of religion. In novels such as Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure Hardy engaged directly with the issues of the day, and his fiction resonates with contemporary concerns.
This book explores the interconnections between life and art, and shows how modern interpretations in film and television create new contexts in which to read the works afresh.
